Just had front bakes and pads replaced 2 weeks ago. Today red brake light indicator stays on. I also see a graphic on the dash that looks like a car on jacks. Anyone know what that means. Driving a 2008 mini clubman s

I believe that's the brake wear sensor.

The MINI has a brake wear sensor in the front left wheel, and the right rear wheel.

The image on the tach should show either the front half or back half of the car. That tells you which sensor has tripped. If you are seeing the entire car on the lift, you need to press the button again until you see which half. (sometimes hard to get this image to show)
The sensors are drivers front and passenger rear. It is recommended that you replace the sensor when you replace your pads etc.
